How many times in a year does it rain in Dubai, in UAE?

Shot this while traffic is at still, okay ;-)

It would be a trending topic in Twitter and Facebook if it rains in the UAE. Yes indeed, because according to tourist guide books, it only rains an average of 5 times a year. Whoa! And by the way, drizzle is considered rain here.

But at times, unfortunately, rains bring chaos on traffic as some roads easily gets flooded. Probably because of the rare chances of rain, the country doesn't have a better flood drain system yet?
